   I have a question about Pioneer's CLD-900 Laser Disc/Compact Disc player.
Is this player capable of playing the new digital audio on some laser discs
only because it has the CD circuitry in it, or is there a possibility of
seeing a laser disc only version that can also play the digital track?
   I'm interested in a laser disc player but am NOT interested in a Laser/CD
combination unit, 1) because of it's considerably higher price, and 2) I don't
want to have to have my TV on constantly just to read the CD information, i.e.
track, time, track length, etc.
   Any info would be appreciated.
